🦉 All out for Barn Owls! ✨

🌳 Last week, in collaboration with Delaware Nature Society, ZooAmerica, and Millersville University, Penn Vet's Wildlife Futures Program invited the Kennett Square community to New Bolton Center's campus to learn about one of our wild neighbors, the Barn Owl.

🍽️ Participants had the unique opportunity to engage with experts, discussing the decline of the barn owl population. Diving in, they also dissected barn owl pellets, gaining insights into the owl's diet and the ongoing research at the Wildlife Futures Laboratory.

🧪 Our team has been diligently testing owl pellets for rodenticides, a non-invasive method of monitoring the owl's health.

As excitement builds around today’s solar eclipse, you might be wondering how the phenomenon will affect horses and livestock.

Penn Vet New Bolton Center’s Ann DiPastina, DVM, assistant professor of clinical food animal field service, and Emily Rule, VMD, assistant professor of clinical field service-equine, spoke to Lancaster Farming about what owners and farmers in the path of totality can expect, and how to ensure your animals’ safety.

Livestock owners shouldn't be too concerned about how their animals will react to April 8's total solar eclipse, but observing their behaviors could come in handy in scientific research.

🎉 Congratulations to our own Dipti Pitta, PhD, for this amazing recognition of her innovative, climate-forward research!

Ruminating on the future of farming 🐮🌾

🎉 A momentous achievement for Penn Vet’s Dipti Pitta, PhD, the Mark Whittier and Lila Griswold Allam Associate Professor of Ruminant Nutrition, who has been awarded a distinguished $508K grant from Gerstner Philanthropies.

🚀 This grant will propel Pitta’s research in understanding the complexities of rumen function, with the ultimate aim of curbing methane emissions.

“Methane is a contributor to rising land temperatures across the world, and it’s important that we pursue methods that can significantly reduce methane emissions,” said Pitta. 🌡️

“Developing innovative mitigation strategies to reduce enteric methane formation, while working at the interface of microbiology, agriculture, and dairy nutrition, is the primary area of my research.”

Pitta presented her latest research at last week’s Society of Environmental Journalists conference hosted at the University of Pennsylvania. 🌟

🧪 8,550—the number of chronic wasting disease (CWD) diagnostic tests Penn Vet's Wildlife Futures laboratory performed last year.

Our dedicated Wildlife Futures Program team has been tirelessly working to help the Pennsylvania Game Commission track the spread of CWD, a fatal prion disease that is rising in deer populations worldwide. 🦌🦠

💪 Let's take a look at their hard work by the numbers.

📈 1,601: The number of out-of-state tests performed – a testament to our impact beyond borders.

Honoring history in our backyard! 📚🌳

Last week, in celebration of Black History Month, the Penn Vet community gathered to learn more about the freedom seekers and abolitionists who traversed the early stops of the Underground Railroad that were established right here in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. 🚂

From exploring historical homes to deciphering coded language and reveling in freedom success stories, our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Adrian and Debbie Burson from the Kennett Underground Railroad Center for enlightening us about the remarkable experiences that have shaped our local history. 🙌

🌟 Exciting News! Join us in congratulating Kara Brown, VMD, DACVSMR, on her new role as assistant professor of equine sports medicine and rehabilitation! 🐎🎉

While Dr. Brown has been an integral member of the Penn Vet New Bolton Center community for some time, we thought this promotion was the perfect opportunity to reintroduce her.

“So many aspects of this new role excite me! I am delighted to continue bringing the information we gain from our research directly to my patients to improve their outcomes,” she says. “I love seeing students that I teach understand and apply new knowledge to our challenging and complex clinical cases, but in particular, I am thrilled to continue to be a part of our patients’ care team, help their owners and riders truly understand what may be causing their horse’s discomfort and help them to manage it to achieve their goals.” 🌟

Keep Scrolling to read our Q&A with Dr. Brown!⬇️

🩺 What is your clinical area of expertise?

“Equine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, and I have additional specialized training in Ultrasound and Cardiology. I am particularly interested in managing sport horses with poor performance using a multi-disciplinary approach and rehabilitation of equine athletes.”

🔬 What is your research focus?

“Poor performance in equine athletes. Specifically, diagnosis and management of axial skeletal (back and neck) pain and the interplay between musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal causes of poor performance (in particular, neurologic disease and endocrine disease), as well as orthobiologic therapies.”
